Kindly Orphan & Handicap Welfare Homes, also known as Pusat Shandai, is a non-profit organization located in Bandar Mahkota Cheras, Selangor, Malaysia. Established on August 18, 2020, the home was founded to support children in need, particularly those from single-parent families, abusive environments, or orphaned situations. It also caters to children with disabilities, including those with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and intellectual disabilities[1][2].

Services and Activities

The welfare home currently accommodates eight children, four of whom have disabilities requiring special care. The center provides various educational and recreational activities such as:

• Tuition classes: Academic support for non-disabled children.
• Art and language classes: To enhance creativity and communication skills.
• Physical activities: Including badminton and basketball to promote fitness.

The caregivers ensure that children receive medical attention promptly when needed, emphasizing a nurturing environment for their development[2][3].

Financial Challenges

Running the home incurs significant monthly expenses, averaging around RM15,000. This includes costs for rent, utilities, daily necessities, and educational fees. The founder, Simon Tan, has expressed the urgent need for financial support to sustain operations and expand facilities like a library and classroom[2][3]. Despite challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Tan remains committed to providing for these vulnerable children and actively seeks donations and community support[3].

The organization encourages contributions from the public to help improve the lives of these children and instill confidence in their futures[1][2].
